A NUISANCE neighbour has been evicted from his home after causing anti-social behaviour.

Stephen Reynolds, of Wilberforce Street, Jarrow, left his home on November 13 after the council successfully secured possession of it through the County Court.

The 57-year-old plagued neighbours with shouting, arguing, banging, playing loud music, abusive and rowdy behaviour, as well as fighting in the street and inside the property.

South Tyneside Council’s Community Wardens and Northumbria Police have also witnessed excessive noise coming from the property.

A council spokesman said: “Reynolds has been given a number of opportunities and warnings regarding his behaviour, however, he has chosen to ignore these and continue to disrupt the lives of his neighbours.”
